Waitākere Ranges Local Board I Te Poari ā-Rohe o Te Ika Whenua o Waitākere

Commit to sorting out the water treatment plants and improving the water quality of our beaches. Make a difference that will be remembered.

Run a deliberative hui on climate change and how our community response should be incorporated into the local plan.

20 randomly selected people spend a day being briefed, asking questions, and then discussing what the WRLB and our community should to do to reduce our carbon emissions and to prepare ourselves for the impacts of climate change. If it looks helpful, do it again.

Help heal the Manukau Harbour

The Manukau Harbour is suffering, and has been suffering for too long. Work with the other local boards that surround the Manukau Harbour and use your collective voice to get change. We want the waters cleaned up, which means stopping the continuous dumping of treated wastewater into the harbour. A deep sea pipeline needs to be investigated. Make your collective voices heard and get the focus brought to the Manukau.

Complete what you already promised

Rather than start anything new, actually deliver on what was planned last term: open local tracks that have been closed for nearly a year, toilets for Titirangi and swimable beaches funded through the targeted rate.

A council run youth hub in Glen Eden instead of yet more gyms. The space could provide a safe place for youth. A hub to find support!
